I’m pretty sure this is the 1983 3-d “spaghetti” action film released by Cannon as Raiders of the Lost Ark knockoff: Treasure of the Four Crowns
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0084781/
It shares multiple scenes as described, including a stagecoach scene, the tomb, the treasure coffin and the swinging things.
The swinging traps played into the 3-d conceit.

This sounds like the 1998 film Phantoms based on the Dean Koontz novel of the same name.
In this case the monster not only kills and eats people it absorbs their thoughts and fears. The victims, not knowing what it is, think it is a demon or Satan. Thus, in addition to leaving all the items on the altar the titular monster in the movie after killing the ...

I think that Doom Kitten's answer is essentially correct, if perhaps too terse. The 2005 animated film, The Toy Warrior, involves Princess Sherbert (a character from Jinoo's favorite toyline, The Toy Warrior) meaning to recruit Jason, in Jinoo's class, who has impressive martial skills for his age, but Jinoo accidentally touches the stone, choosing to become ...

I have found the movie, finally!, but when I found it I realized that I had a mental cocoa in my head because some things and scenes that I vaguely remembered I associated with the genre of pure action with firearms and a death game. I have had to mix an infinity of things and details from older movies, such as the year of the movie, and certain similarities ...

The animated movie might be Ivanhoe(1986).
Captured hero? Check.
Meets an old woman who is in captivity for a long time? Check.
The old woman burns the castle during an assault, laughing maniacally? Check.
Rosebush secret passage? It happens at 44:30 minute mark.
See if this rings a bell.

The description of the accident with the woodchipper reminded me of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.
It has a strong 'cabin in the woods' vibe as well as a serious of increasingly unlikely deaths.
Warning. NSFW Scenes.
At one point they encounter a sheriff and try to explain what happened.

Billy Comeau's 1985 Monster Hits: Who's Afraid of the Dark is likely the case, with the musical release it's based off of being Captain Billy and the Cataloon Crew, Monster Hits.

My first thought reading through your description was about the movie The Thing (2011), where the characters are "isolated" at an Antartic base. Some characters eventually begin to kill each other due to reasons within the film. For more info I suggest looking at the plot in Wikipedia.
Or maybe it might be the other movie The Thing (1982). There ...

5150 Elm's Way (2009)?
The whole "kidnapped, forced to win chess to earn his freedom" thing matches nicely, but I cannot confirm the final game is visited by ghosts. In fact the movie does not appear to be sci-fi horror, just mundane horror (but per meta, an on-topic question with an off-topic answer is valid).
From Wikipedia:
Elm's Way is a calm ...
